Our hybrid work model

BlackRock's hybrid work model is designed to enable a culture of collaboration and apprenticeship that enriches the experience of our employees, while supporting flexibility for all.

Employees are currently required to work at least 4 days in the office per week, with the flexibility to work from home 1 day a week.

Some business groups may require more time in the office due to their roles and responsibilities.
